Company Description
Job Description
From the cozy local wine store to the trendy sneaker pop-up, the Retail team at Square is finding new ways to equip retail sellers and their staff with the tools they need to succeed. Our team focuses on helping smaller retailers meet their customers wherever they are: be that in-store, online, or on social/messaging platforms. We’re addressing the desire for clean and minimalist store counters with intuitive yet sophisticated iOS, Android, and Web-based software that integrates seamlessly with our sleek hardware, all backed by highly reliable services.
As an Engineering Manager on Retail, you'd lead a full-stack team that owns the product workflow for all activities a seller engages in before making the sale.

Manage a team of 6-8 experienced and passionate product engineers, leading them in creating beautiful, unique products which allow retail sellers to grow
Oversee the success of your team's product commitments
Build systems, services, and product features across multiple platforms that have immediate impact for retail
Use your technical expertise to coach and guide your team, and to maintain a high bar
Work collaboratively with experienced designers, product managers, and engineers; both on our team and with our friends on other teams
Report into a Director of Engineering and engage in product discussions with leaders across the company
Qualifications
You have:
At least 2 years experience managing and mentoring engineers (including providing feedback, investing in the career growth of your team members and growing teams)
Empathy for the challenges of retail sellers, and for your colleagues at Square
Eagerness to share your ideas, and openness to those of others
Demonstrated collaboration with co-workers on other teams and in other locations
